Introducing Sun Shade Wheat

We are so excited to announce that the newest member of our seasonal lineup is here. Sun Shade Wheat is the springiest of springtime beers. If you’ve been around the taproom much, you may remember this wheat beer from last year. We tested it out on tap, and we just knew we had to can this one for y’all.

The weather is starting to look a lot like spring here in Kentucky (sun, check, rain, check) — making it the perfect time to release an American Wheat beer.

Full of wheat malt flavor and balanced with fruity esters and notes of orange citrus — this guy is the perfect addition to any porch hang, or Keeneland tailgate. Sun Shade Wheat clocks in at a crushable 5% ABV.

We <3 this can design, and we think you will too. Inspired by laying on the forest floor, and looking up at the sky — you may notice that the colors take on an almost sun-bleached hue. The camera-lens-esque sunburst on the upper left side of our West Sixth logo is an added detail meant to further remind you to enjoy this guy in the sunshine. As always, this can design was created in collaboration with our good friends over at Cricket Press.

You can find Sun Shade Wheat in six-packs and on tap in all West Sixth taprooms beginning Monday, April 10th, and rolling out throughout the week in stores across Kentucky.
